The Community Lounge - Good m/a/e everybody - enjoy your stay with us.

thanks for the tips. emails to topflyer at ft gets the "we're waiting for amex to send us the prizes" kind of BS answer

Ohhhhhh I'd like to have that happen on Friday!

good mae all!

Just booked my seat on the first ever flight that will take off from BER - An A380 to FRA.

Good m/a/e all.

Back home from postcard North Wales. Nearly 24 hours on trains in the last 48.

Good thing it's so darn picturesque.

Ciao from Milano, all. First visit here. Very nice flight on AA, SWU'd to C. Am now at Park Hyatt Milan, where I had to wait for about an hour for my room to be ready, a junior suite thanks to suite upgrade cert. Here till Sunday.

On a tour tomorrow morning that will get me into The Last Supper, as tickets otherwise weren't available till mid-July.

Hope all is well with everyone.

Greetings from JFK Terminal 7. My UA flight arrived 40 minutes early.

Cross my fingers!
My flight was completely full in three cabins at the end. When I did my on line check-in, C was fully booked. F was only 4.

Now it's only one more day at work.
Then....
The weekend

Morning, all!

I'm hurting today. Ugh, my pillow is doing hard to my neck. Plus I think I ran myself into the ground yesterday with being up at 6am, ATL, work work work work, two kickball games and then getting to be after midnight.

Hope the rest of you are doing much better.

Good M/A/E Everybody

Nice Pictures

It certainly is picturesque. If I haven't mentioned it before I really enjoy the photographs you share of your travels through Wales and Scotland and other places along the journey.

Have been looking to stay at the Park Hyatt Milan in a few months. How is it? Did you actually fly into Milan or train it?

Am finally getting back on Milepoint after a 4 day break. Withdrawals, withdrawals, withdrawals!
Sun is coming out this afternoon in SJC. Starting to look at my next flight to CLL (a gold star to anyone who knows that one off the top of your head), and hoping my upgrades clear to my connection at DFW (no first class cabin to CLL).

How's the tea? I thought of you in the lounge at CDG, but I assume you have enough. I will be there again mid-may if you change your mind, though.

Lovely. I switch between a few different kinds and it's such a treat when I have a Fauchon day. yum!

Thanks!!

I need to proofread my posts. I abhor typos!

Flew in via AA from JFK and used a SWU. Was a very nice service. Then took train into Milan (Malpensa Express), then the Metro (#3 line) to Duomo. 5 minute walk to hotel from there. Used a suite certificate, and they out me in a junior suite, rather than one with a separate living room. Still, a very nice room. Bathroom has rainfall shower with great pressure, which is something I love. Also a big tub, 2 sinks. Very nice fruit and wine hospitality gift was bright tomyhenroom while I was out and about.

Great location for Milan, I think. La Scala is 5 minute walk, and Bibioteca Ambrosiano is 10 minute walk. Pages from Leonardo's Codex Atlanticus are on display there, and it's an amazing set of buildings.

Rates here can be killer. That's why I used 2 free nights from Hyatt Visa here. Also applied a corporate rate, and they called me on it. Trying to get a friend with connections at that company to see if someone there will vouch for me. Desk agent said they do this the first time someone stays there on a corporate rate. Fair warning.

Good MAE from Kabul, as usual.

I hope you all gave a good Friday. Also, as promised, a pic of some of the mountains around me:

Well it's IST day. hope the t-storms stay at bay so that the little puddle jump to ORD takes place....

Happy Flying!

Are you going to be there a while?

Safe travels to you and Mrs. 744!

My upgrade to Newark on tomorrow's redeye cleared. \o/

Good m/a/e!

Finally...
I'm home from work and have the weekend to look forward to

woohoo! have a good flight!
